Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 41

Stakeholders have indicated concerns with the level of uncertainty they are willing to accept with the solution.
What type of analysis can the business analyst (BA) use to alleviate these concerns?

Answer options

• A. Gap
• B. Financial
• C. Requirements
• D. Risk

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Risk analysis, as it specifically focuses on identifying, assessing, and mitigating uncertainties that could impact the solution. The other options, while important, do not directly address the stakeholders' concerns about uncertainty: Gap analysis assesses differences between current and desired states, Financial analysis deals with cost implications, and Requirements analysis focuses on gathering and defining project needs.
